Physicians Have Found Out

That a communicating and foreign
element in the blood, developed by
indigestion, is the cause of rheuma-
tism. This settles upon the sensi-
tive sub-cutaneous covering of the
muscles and ligaments of the joints,
causing constant and shifting pain,
and aggregating as a calcareos,
chalky deposit which produces stiff
ness and distortion of the joints.
No fact which experience has de-
monstrated in regard to Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters has stronger evil
dence to support than this, namely,
that this medicine of comprehensive
uses checks the formidable and
atrocious disease, nor is it less posi-
lively established that it is prefera-
BILE to the poisons often used to ar
rest it, since the medicine contains
only salutary ingredients. 1t is also

bladder ailments, debility and other
disorders. See that you get the gen
uine.

business of helping the farmer to
new ideas and new methods of deal
ing with the ground that will make
farming more profitable to him.
Let the farmers be assured that
unless the members are profited by
the organization they will abandon
it. Every institution will draw in
proportion as it is attractive and
profitable.
If the farmers who are interested
in this movement will look into the
customs and methods of similar or
CARNATIONS in other States they will
find that the meetings are devoted
to the discussion of farm topics al
most exclusively. A man is selected
to address the association, for ex-
ample, on the best method of fertiliz-
ing meadow. He makes his
speech, and then the subject is open
to general discussion, and hundred
members give their views and ex-
perience until everybody is edited
and enlightened on this branch Of
farming. So the discussions are
continued ON every important topic
of farming and the members are
gradually educated to higher
plane in their business.
1t is all we'll enough for farmers
to look after their special interests
in matters of public polity. But
this is not the first nor the mos
profitable purpose of a Farmers In
stitute.

ization practical and they will al
the same time make it profitable

why MOI illuminate.

1t may be instructive to us to
learn that our neighboring town,
Fairmont, is to have the benefit of
electric light through the enterprise
of a single citizen.
The instruction lies in the fact
that if electric lights can be made
profitable to town as a private en-
terprise, the business inference is
that they would be economical as q
public enterprise.
One of Fairmont's young men Mr.
Harry Sands, conceived the enter
prise. He went to the town authori
ties and proposed to ligh theil
streets at cost not exceeding tha'
of oil. He then procured enough
subscribers 70 his plan among citi
zens to make the Investment feast
bic, and he will give his town goot
light and put good profit in hi
pocket for his pains.
We presume that the investmen
could be made equally profitable il
Morgantown If there is no indi
vidual citizen to come forward ant
take the chance, we have no doub
that the council would find it profit
able to substitute electricity for OF
in lighting the streets. 1t has lonl
since been demonstrated that cleo
tricity is the cheapest)modc Of light

land until he has got it in high
state OF cultivation. | with four
other gentlemen looked over his

He has forty acres that we think

orable from now out; his corn
crop is fine; he has an acre in corn
with $500 stalks on it and we be-
lieve that he will be sure to get

acre. The manure and work on
the acre is estimated at $4,000.
